First of all, for those who are interested in making an answer file for an unattended install. Here is how:
  • Insert the Windows 2000/XP CD in the CD-ROM drive.
  • Open the \Support\Tools\
  • Use WinRAR/WinZIP extract the Deploy.cab file to a desired folder in your Hard Disk.
  • Double-click on Setupmgr.exe. The Welcome to the Windows Setup Manager Wizard opens.
  • Follow teh prompts.
Now here is my question.

To install from a CD it is required to save the answer file as Winnt.sif. We are required to copy that file to a floppy disk and run the setup from the CD.

"Hello! this is 2004. I neither have single floppy disk nor a floppy drive."

Is it is possible to intergrate this Winnt.sif to the Windows 2000/XP CD? Has anybody done that before?

I tried copying the file to \I386 also to the root of the CD, but to no avail.

Thank you in advance,
McoreD
